Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Little Overlord

"Okay! Today we must determine the outcome of yesterday." Under the watchful eyes of everyone in front of the battle, he was ridiculed by Tai Shici, and the young Sun Ce jumped out. "Wait!" His confidant Cheng Pu hurriedly stopped Sun Ce's horse, "Don't be fooled by the enemy's eloquence and go into battle rashly. You have a bigger mission." He said and pushed Sun Ce back. Sun Ce's war horse is eager to try.Cheng Pu handed over the reins to the other generals, and went to meet Tai Shici himself. As soon as Tai Shici saw him, he didn't fight him, and said: "Donglai Taishi Ci didn't bring the knife to kill you and other juniors. Before you are trampled to death by my war horse, run back quickly! Tell Sun Ce to come out!" .”

"Oh, you brat, you're talking nonsense!" Cheng Pu was furious and called straight away. At this time, before the first battle was over, Liu Yao suddenly ordered Jin to withdraw his troops. "What happened?" Tai Shici took hold of the halberd and retreated quickly, but he felt dissatisfied.As soon as he saw Liu Yao, he couldn't help asking, "What a pity! I was planning to lure Sun Ce today...what happened?" With a painful expression on his face, Liu Yao said in a trembling voice, "How can you care about such a trivial matter at this moment! The city has already been captured. It's all because you only care about the enemy in front of you."

"What?! A city?" Tai Shici was shocked. After inquiring, I found out that at some time, the enemy sent a part of their troops to Qu'a, and attacked Liu Yao's stronghold, Lingling City, from the direction of Qu'a. Moreover, there is another person named Chen Wu, named Zilie, from Lujiang.Chen Wu and Zhou Yu were from the same hometown, and they used to communicate with each other, thinking that "the time has come", crossed the river, joined Sun Jun, and attacked Liu Yao's empty city together, and captured it immediately. In any case, it is natural for Liu Yao to be in a panic after losing an important base.

"Since this is the case, we can only withdraw to Moling (now Fenghuang Mountain in the south of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) and defend with the whole army." The whole army withdrew overnight, rushing away like the autumn wind. They galloped all the way, exhausted, and camped out for the night.Unexpectedly, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses suddenly came to attack at night, and the remnants of the soldiers who had not yet been scattered were beaten here and fled in all directions. Some deserters fled into Moling.Sun Ce surrounded Moling, and when he heard that the enemy general Liu Yao knew that Niuzhu was weak, he bravely came to attack, and said, "Come on, rat in the bag!" He immediately turned his horse's head and attacked Liu Yao's flank.

At this time, the enemy's fierce general Mi broke the boat and came to fight.Sun Ce captured Yu Mi with his hands, hugged him on the side of the saddle, and retreated leisurely.There was a hero named Fan Neng under Liu Yao's banner. Seeing this, he drove his horse after him and said, "Wait a minute, Sun Ce!" Sun Ce turned his head and said, "Do you want this?!" After speaking, he strangled Yu Mi, who was in his arms, and Yu Mi's eyes popped out.Sun Ce threw the body at Fan Neng, and Fan Neng fell off his horse. "Let's go to Mingtu! Be a good companion!" Sun Ce stabbed Fan Neng with his spear from the horse, shot Yu Mi in the chest, and then returned to his own position neatly.

The surprise attack, attempted as a last resort, was a disastrous failure.Not only that, the two generals Yu Mi and Fan Neng who were relied on were also killed by Sun Ce before his eyes.Liu Yao was discouraged and said: "The general situation is gone!" Then he fled to Jingzhou with the only remaining soldiers. Liu Biao, the hero of one party, is still alive in Jingzhou. Liu Yao initially withdrew from Moling, intending to regroup.But after one defeat after another, the whole army was completely torn apart, even he himself lost the strength to resist, so he fled and managed to save his life, he had no choice but to say: "In this case, let's seek refuge with Liu Biao."

Liu Yao's army left more than ten thousand corpses in the wilderness along the way. "Liu Yao is not worth relying on." Seeing through Liu Yao, there was an endless stream of soldiers who came to Sun Ce's village to surrender. But Liu Yao is worthy of being a great vassal, and there are remnants of his subordinates who disdain to surrender, so they gathered in Moling City, where they swore to break the jade, saying: "Fight a magnificent battle!" They are Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and others. Sun Ce swept away the remnants and defeated generals along the coast, and soon approached Moling.

Looking at the enemy army from the archery tower in the city, Zhang Ying found that the enemy army had already attacked the moat, and a particularly eye-catching young general was commanding the enemy army. He looked heroic and said, "Ah, it's Sun Ce!" Unbiased, an arrow hit the young general's left thigh.The general fell from his horse with a crash.The soldiers around were startled "Ah", they became agitated, and ran to the general. It was Sun Ce who hit the arrow. Sun Ce couldn't stand up.Many soldiers picked up his body and hid it in their camp. That night, the siege army retreated five li and set up camp.The village is silent, the night fog is like ink, and mourning flags are lowered everywhere.

"The arrow wounds in the vital parts have worsened. It is sad that General Sun has passed away." Even the soldiers at the bottom were crying bitterly.Everyone whispered to each other, guessing that either the funeral will be kept secret for the time being and the coffin will be withdrawn in the near future, or the place of burial will be determined and a temporary funeral will be held in the battlefield mountain. The spy sent by Moling City had already returned and told Zhang Ying, "Sun Ce is dead!" Zhang Ying patted her thigh and boasted to everyone, saying: "That's right! I've been hit by my arrow, and no one can save me!"

However, for the sake of prudence, Chen Heng released spies again to investigate.In the morning, the spies saw many nearby villagers carrying a frighteningly heavy coffin towards the gate of the village. "It can't be wrong. Sun Ce is indeed dead. It seems that there will be a temporary funeral today, and he is quietly preparing for it." The spies replied truthfully, without any doubts. Zhang Ying and Chen Heng looked at each other, smiled and said, "Good job!" It is night and the stars are silent. A group of soldiers and horses meanders and marches in the field concealedly, like flowing water.

The team marched forward with mournful copper horns, jiegu and gong boards. Funeral music played in the dark.The soldiers and horses are silent, and the wind blowing across the field is also crying. The new coffin was surrounded by a cluster of torches. The mourning flag fluttered, and the face was black. "Ah..." The generals walking around the coffin looked up to the sky and sighed from time to time. Seeing that Sun Ce died in battle, his remains were about to be quietly buried. Zhang Ying and Chen Henger, who had already found out about the matter that day, raised their banners high and suddenly attacked the funeral procession. Just now it looked like grass and stones, but now it turned into an army shouting to attack. I thought that Sun Ce's army, which had lost its huge pillar, would be in a mess, but unexpectedly, the funeral procession was immediately divided into five columns and formed into a neat lineup. "Don't leave Zhang Ying and Chen Heng!" a loud order came. Zhang Ying was shocked, and said: "Ah! The enemy army is prepared! See if they don't cry or make noise, maybe they have some kind of plan." While fighting, he warned his own people not to engage in it lightly.However, they were originally a small group of troops who came out of Moling City, and they were quickly repelled, and they rushed to retreat, saying: "Go back! Go back! Withdraw to the city!" "Sun Ce is here! Moling City has fallen into the hands of our army! Where do you want to go?!" At this moment, four or five generals on horseback rushed out of the woods on the way, shouting and blocking Zhang Ying's way in the dark. "A few enemies, but mediocre, break them up and rush over." Although Zhang Ying doubted her ears, she still ordered her subordinates to fight bloodily. "Are you Zhang Ying?" At this time, a young military general galloped forward from the front. Zhang Ying took a closer look and found that it was Sun Ce who he shot with an arrow from the archery tower in the city yesterday. "Ah, they said they were dead, so they were pretending!" Zhang Ying was shocked, so he pulled his horse and fled. "Superficial guy!" Sun Ce shouted, and rode his horse into Zhang Ying's buttocks from behind. Immediately, Zhang Ying's body spurted blood, and his head flew to nowhere. Chen Heng was also beheaded.It turned out that this was Sun Ce's deep thinking plan.The men and horses marched directly towards Moling City, and those who entered the city first opened the city gate to welcome Sun Ce. Everyone cheered for victory and three cheers for long live.At this time, the water of the Yangtze River has turned white, and the peaks of Phoenix Mountain and Zijin Mountain have been covered by the rising sun. Sun Ce issued an order on the same day to appease the hearts of the people, left some soldiers and horses in Moling, and went straight to attack Jing County (now west of Xuancheng City, Anhui). From then on, his brave reputation spread widely, and people called him "Jiangdong Sun Lang" or "Little Overlord" in awe.
